A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

"Their inability to upsell to the U.S. consumer in the July quarter was partly due to the fact that they didn't have any AMD products," Stahlman said.
Intel rival Advanced Micro Devices has the lead over Intel in the area for the powerful 64-bit desktop processor market with its Athlon chips, according to Stahlman.
"There's a view that the Intel products are inferior," he said.
You mean there's a disadvantage to a one-microprocessor-company state?
